"Nightmare scenario:" Wisconsin reports more than 5,200 new cases, 65 deaths

Source: Madison 365

The state of Wisconsin confirmed 5,262 new coronavirus cases and 65 deaths on Tuesday.

Looking ahead, state officials said things aren’t likely to get better.

“It’s a nightmare scenario, frankly, that this could get quite a bit worse in the next several weeks or months before it gets better,” Dr. Ryan Westergaard, Chief Medical Officer of the state’s Bureau of Communicable Diseases said in a media briefing.

The previous high for deaths reported in a single day was 48, reported on October 24.

The seven-day positive test rate increased to 25.7 percent, up from 25.4 on Monday.

The total number of cases ever confirmed in Wisconsin is now 206,311, of which more than 43,000 — 21% — are considered active.

and PA has over twice the population of Wisconsin.

As it stands here, our positivity is right at the 5% mark but yesterday during Philly's weekly presser, they announced our positivity is now up to 7.2% (nowhere near as high as we were in the spring with the limited testing at the time, but definitely past the concern mark).
